Santa calls 'On Dasher, on Dancer, on Prancer and Vixen! Now on Comet, on Cupid, on Donner and Blitzen!'
Chat with our AI personalities
The reindeer names in the order Santa calls them are: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and Rudolph (if included).
The other reindeer called Rudolph names such as "Red-Nose" and "Shiny-Nose" due to his glowing red nose. These names were often used in a teasing or mocking manner before Rudolph became a hero for guiding Santa's sleigh.
First, it should be noted that this is a myth, a popular legend that has been told for several hundred years. It is a story about Santa Claus (or Father Christmas) flying through the sky in a magical sleigh, pulled by reindeer, to bring gifts to children all over the world. In the original telling, popularized in a poem called 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, there was no reindeer with a red nose; there were eight reindeer, and they all pulled the sleigh. A ninth reindeer, Rudolph, was added later-- in the 1930s, when a hit song about "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" made him part of the story. But whether he was original to the story or not, the purpose of the reindeer with the nose that was "glowing" (not "growing") was to help Santa/Father Christmas see the homes with the good children, so that he could make sure they received their Christmas gifts.
Rudolph was created in 1939 as part of a Montgomery Ward (a now-defunct chain of department stores) ad campaign.

No. A vixen is a female fox. It's also a slang term for a overtly sexual woman... i.e. a "Video Vixen".Vixen is also one of Santa Claus' reindeer in the poem "The Night Before Christmas". In popular culture Vixen is usually portrayed as a female reindeer.
